Reimagined In the 1970s, Celestrons Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes brought the hobby of astronomy to the masses and established Celestron as the worlds premier telescope maker.

The founder, Tom Johnson, invented Celestrons proprietary method of producing Schmidt corrector plates for superior views and maximum portability. Four decades later, Celestrons improved upon this design by adding cutting-edge features, while staying true to their founders intent. Revolutionary Design The best telescope is the one you will use most often.

Thats why Celestrons engineers created NexStar SEs unique, patented single fork arm mount. Its perfectly portable and makes setup quick and easy. Whats more, the NexStar SE breaks down into several lightweight and compact pieces, making it easy to transport, even in small vehicles.

Youll have no problem getting the NexStar SE to your favorite observing site, or setting it up quickly in your backyard. Of course, its whats inside the mount that really counts. Sturdy construction from high-quality components give NexStar SE the pointing and tracking accuracy needed to observe and follow your favorite targets with push-button ease.

Use the included Nex - Star+ hand control to locate over 40,000 celestial objects, or take a Sky Tour and let your telescope show you the best objects currently visible. Advanced Features The NexStar SE is compatible with all the high-tech accessories advanced users love. Provide GPS coordinates to your telescope with Sky - Sync, or add automatic alignment functionality with Star - Sense Auto - Align.

Its built-in wedge allows you to track long exposures. You can even remove the telescopes secondary mirror and replace it with a DSLR or astronomical CCD camera for wide field images captured at f/2 using a Fastar/Hyper - Star lens assembly. Or, if youre interested in imaging the Moon and planets, pair your NexStar 5SE with one of Celestron's Skyris cameras.

From your first observing session and for years to come, the NexStar SE is your trusted companion. View the Universe The 5SEs six-inch primary mirror packs enough light-gathering ability to observe the best that the solar system has to offer: Saturns rings, the cloud bands on Jupiter, and geographic features on the surface of the Moon. When it comes to deep sky objects, take your 5SE to a dark-sky site and youll see hundreds of pinpoint stars in the Hercules Globular Cluster, the spiral arms of the Whirlpool Galaxy, and more.

Celestron Tabletop Tripod Celestron Tabletop Tripod - compact and sturdy, is half the size and weight of a standard tripod, making it perfect for travel. The low-profile legs and wide footprint offer added stability, while the convenient tabletop design makes it easier for some observers (especially children) to access the eyepiece. Setup is quick and easy compared to a full-height tripod.

Simply place the Tabletop Tripod on a camp table, bench, tailgate, or any other flat surface. When not in use, the Tabletop Tripods legs fold inward and stow neatly under the mounting plate for easy storage and transport.
